I'd probably spend a couple million on myself, give a lot of it to people I know personally, and then give the rest away. I'm just not that materialistic honestly. I can't even imagine how I would spend more than maybe 10 million dollars.

Did noone notice, we elected them to run the UK (so you can choose again)? Alternatively, for the cost of a pint or two, I can find you six bears in Kent who will argue the finer points of the best real ale in full leather (with caps), $20, cheap at half the price.

Set up charity companies in impoverished communities to teach and sustain employment through skills. Work with charities that believes in redeeming human dignity, like the Mother Teresa's Charities for the destitute. She believed everyone must be accorded the basic right to die with self respect.

And of cos, animal rescue centers.

And a pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements company that offers high end health supplements to masses at near cost margins and no cost to charities.

Oh my, like I told Ann, I really should move to the UK, I'm living in the wrong country

I'm so happy I have you here to judge every little thing I say. I was making the comment that I most likely wouldn't know how to spend my way past the first ten million. I was not in fact saying I could account for exactly how I would spend that first ten mil. Why I'm even bothering to argue this I have absolutely no idea.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts
